At the end of day, there's just one thing Viall is looking for in his future wife.

He's also looking for someone with a "strong personality," though "that could also vary too," he says.

"I have a big personality," he admits. "I can be a lot to handle, and I need someone to be able to challenge me, and not in a negative way where they get frustrated, but more that they can keep up. I want someone who wants me to do the same."

The Bachelor returns to ABC in January.
